This will hurt me...

To be honest with you, I didn’t really envisage another instalment of Baseball cards that I like , but another has emerged! It seemed unlikely to me that Rusty Kuntz could be topped, but today’s star of yesteryear may have done that. So, without further ado, I present: [I wonder if this qualifies as cussing?]

In what promises to be a very short series, here is the first installment of "Baseball cards that I like". I'm not much of a baseball fan, if there is a bat and a ball, for me the game has got to be cricket. However, I am a fan of some of the colourful names that seem to emerge from America's Pastime . Perhaps none more so than today's focus: My last name is 'McCracken', which draws its share of sniggers. Yet I really have to wonder how Rusty makes it through each day? You'd struggle in Australia with that name, I'd wager!
